I am trying to bring up os/2 1.3 on a system that has a serial Logitech mouse. If I define the serial port to which the mouse is attached as com1, and use the PC mouse (PCMOU$01) driver, I get a useable mouse under OS/2. However, when I go to the DOS box and fire up Windows (3.0), the mouse is unusable. Also, there's an error message during boot; as OS/2 reads the line in Config.sys "Device= c:/path/com01.sys" (the one that loads the serial port driver for DOS), it says that it can't open com1, because it's either not available or in use by another device. (This line is after the lines in Config.sys that load the mouse driver). Can anybody suggest a fix to this problem?

(This line is after the lines >in Config.sys that load the mouse driver). 1) You need to add "device=c:\os2\ega.sys" to enable the mouse in the DOS box 2) COM1 is being used by your mouse driver, so the com01 driver is telling you that it is unavailable for use by that device driver.

To use a Logitech mouse under OS/2 1.3, use the PCMOU01 driver. (Choose the PC mouse systems mouse when you're presented with a choice when installing OS/2.) To use the mouse in Microsoft Windows 3.0 in the DOS box, choose the Microsoft /IBM mouse choice in Windows Setup.
